Apple TV's (http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/09/dancing-in-the-dark-with-the-new-apple-tv/) new Siri-enabled remote (http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/09/the-new-apple-tv-brings-apps-siri-and-a-touchscreen-remote/), with a touchpad and mic, has finally brought the media player up to speed with its competitors like Roku and Amazon. In addition to a snappy universal search (http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/02/new-apple-tv-price-and-universal-search/), the digital assistant can now pick shows by cameos, movies by actors and genres by age. The demo onstage -- with Siri pulling up the weather and a sport scorecard while automatically pausing the movie in the background -- seemed to give the company's TV box (http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/09/new-apple-tv-vs-old-apple-tv/)a much-needed edge. But according to their developer guide (https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/tvos/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppleTV_PG/), the voice-controlled TV watching pleasure will be limited to only eight countries at the time of launch end of next month.
